This deck offers both opportunities for quick board control, as well as late game power stats. The gist is to summon a mid-sized minion, buffing it with a Tiki Piper, Tiki Caretaker, Elderwood Embrace, or a sacrificed Elderwood Hermit and forcing your opponent to trade. Buff's triggered by a minion are ideal early, as the 1/1 spawned is the backbone to the sacrifice mechanic. You are essentially creating an immense amount of value when sacrificing the 1/1's in order to summon or create higher stated minions. Your Soul Eater should be about a 10/10-14/14 by the time you draw it, punishing you enemy for trading and adding value to your sacrifices.
Alternate cards:
Falcon Dive -> Soul Drain (Being able to possible destroy a 1hp minion on turn one can help with tempo)
Queen's Assassin -> Shaytan Assassin (I prefer the Queen's as it restricts me less from having to play on a sand tile)
Court Jester -> Wood Elemental (Court jester offers a cheap distraction while adding value to your hand)
Air Elemental -> Eriodan, The Voice of All (Eriodan is an amazing card, however most minions will not benefit from the effect because they are summoned)
